Opening and closing sequences of The Prisoner
The opening and closing sequences of TV series ''The Prisoner'' are considered iconic, "one of the great set-ups of genre drama."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Prisoner - the classic British TV series )〕 The opening and closing credits music, as broadcast, was composed by Ron Grainer, a composer whose other credits include the theme music for ''Doctor Who''.
==The music==
Grainer's theme was chosen after two other composers, Robert Farnon and Wilfred Josephs, created themes that were rejected by series executive producer Patrick McGoohan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=THE PRISONER, Rejected 1st Theme )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=THE PRISONER, 2ND Rejected Theme. )〕 Farnon's theme was rejected for being a virtual copy of the western film ''The Big Country'' (1958). Josephs' discordant theme got as far as being applied to early edits of "Arrival" and "The Chimes of Big Ben" and can also be heard on the recovered early edits of the two episodes which have subsequently been released to DVD (prior to this, Josephs' melody was utilized as incidental music on the broadcast versions of "Arrival"). Farnon's theme remained unheard until it was unearthed for a DVD featurette "Don't Knock Yourself Out", created for the 2007 DVD reissue of ''The Prisoner'' in the UK; the featurette was also included in the 2009 A&E Home Video DVD and Blu-ray release in North America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Prisoner -TV Show )〕 Before he would finally use Grainer's theme, McGoohan required Grainer to rescore it in a faster tempo and place emphasis on the timpani drums.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=THE PRISONER, Ron Grainer Theme )〕
